The Research Museum of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Nevada, Reno, was founded in 1980. Through the years, the museum became the repository of excavated materials originating from faculty contracts in prehistoric and historical archeology. The Museum, located for decades on the fifth floor of the Ansari Business Building alongside the Department of Anthropology, also has long served as a training facility for students pursing the interdisciplinary Museum Studies minor. This oral history project, conducted in 2002, interviewed two faculty members in the Department of Anthropology, Dr. Catherine S. Fowler and Dr. Donald L. Hardesty, both of whom outline their memories of the museum’s founding as well as its role in curation and the education of UNR students in Anthropology and the broader university community.
